Roberta is the sheltered daughter of an overemotional lower nobility in Regency England. Her distant cousin, Duchess Jemma, has just returned from France to look after her politically ambitious estranged husband. Roberta wants to avoid becoming an old maid and beseeches her cousin to help her find a man.

A romance with some blush-worthy scenes, this was out of my usual comfort zone for books. It was a light read and a perhaps a good beach read. I didn't enjoy it particularly because the characters were so annoying! Roberta was so naive and foolish. I am not particularly certain I understood her even by the end. The other characters were just sort of frustrating and took away from the pleasure of reading the book.
